Casper in CT - Adores Cuddles & Cheese - Great Pyrenees Dog for Adoption in Beacon, New York

Casper could there be a more perfect name for this sweet, snowy white boy? Just like his famous fictional namesake, Casper is one of the friendliest souls you'll ever meet, and he's looking for a family to haunt with love. Casper came to us as a stray from Ohio, thin and in need of some TLC. He showed us in foster care that he's an affectionate, people-loving guy who wears his heart on his fluffy sleeve. He smiles when his foster mom comes home, follows the family around the house just to stay close, and has a particular fondness for climbing into bed in the morning and resting his big, gentle head on someone's arm or shoulder. If your idea of a perfect morning involves a giant white dog using you as a pillow, Casper could be your match.

Casper's housebroken, and will sit and come on command. His activity level is moderate; he enjoys a good romp in the yard and loves car rides, but he's equally happy settling in close to his people at the end of the day. Casper is wonderful with children of all ages. Hes visited with young kids inside and outside the home, and he is an absolute gentleman gentle, loving, and adored by everyone who meets him. He also does well with other dogs, particularly his foster sister, a female Pyr he loves to play with and lounge beside. He does have some feelings about dogs he spots through the car window or on a walk he gets vocal and pulls hard so a confident handler who can work with him on leash manners will be important. He has a fairly typical Pyr bark: he'll sound off at passersby and squirrels, average for the breed. He has some strong opinions about things that make loud noises, as well as bicycles and hoodies theyre super sketchy.

Casper's ideal home is one where family is around often and happy to include him in the day whether that's lounging on the couch, going for rides, or simply existing in the same room together. He enjoys being outside and would love a six-foot fenced-in yard. And hed do well with or without a canine companion, and would thrive with someone experienced in large breeds who can give him the gentle, consistent guidance he deserves. Oh, and keep the cheese stocked. That's non-negotiable!
